FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

Hi Larry,
Indeed it has been a good discussion. I sure have learned a lot about Rustic Brown paint, and other paint colors for that matter. I am getting an appreciation for why a good restoration takes so long. It has taken many hours to crawl through the details of just the dome lamp!

By the way, I found a PPT to PDF converter (free) online and converted the pptx file to a PDF format. Hopefully this will open up for you. It doesn't have quite the resolution as the original pptx file, but nonetheless, try zooming in on areas of interest and it still shows decent details.

Thanks,
Gregg

Larry;
The picture is in power point. It does not open as a pdf or jpg file as a separate screen. It is down loaded.
Check your downloads under your File Explorer. The image maybe there.

Gregg, thanks for your latest posting. This may become the most thoroughly-discussed topic in V-8 club website history. I was not, unfortunately, able to open the images attached to your latest message. Can you send them in a different type of file? Evidently our club website is fussy about what kind of attachments we put on it. I've had similar difficulties.

Sorry, and thanks!

Hello again,
For those of you interested in 37 interior Rustic Brown paint color, yesterday I ordered some parts from Roy Nacewicz and, as usual, struck up a conversation with him about his 37 Sedan Delivery. I asked him about the inside spare tire cover and Masonite quarter panel colors and he said they where Rustic Brown. This is a huge help for me. Turns out the dome lamp that mounts to the passenger side quarter panel is also Rustic Brown. This has been the latest focus in my restoration, pics are attached.
Thanks,
Gregg

The posting with the Confidential PPG attachment that Larry Lange submitted, has been deleted because of it being property of PPG.

Yep, I can view it also....well enough to read the "PPG Confidential" statement at the bottom. Don't know if we should keep this info on the forum, but not my call to make.
Thanks for the info though!

Winner winner chicken dinner! That must've been it - I can view it now. Hopefully everyone else, especially those needing the color or experienced enough on the years and color to help, can view it as well!

Hmmm...now I'm stumped. I can't see it still - shows up as 'Server Error 404 File Not Found'. What kind of file is it? .jpg? Notice your filename does not have a file type suffix - perhaps thats it (?). Admin - ?

Steve, thanks for the advice. I'm not the computer nerd I should be.
I've renamed the file, and I hope it will accessible this time. Let me know if it still doesn't come through, so we can try something else.

Aha! Now I know why I got a "server error" when I tried adding an attachment the other day. This is a huge help for further posts.
Thanks,
Gregg
